The Shallows is a relatively simply shark stranded thriller with the trailers showing exactly the type of film it is. This is a film which showcases Blake Lively as a strong leading actress and the film made a profit within its box office.
Most criticism comes from the fact that it may seem unrealistic at times but overall the film does a decent job at keeping those on the edge of the seat, while maintaining and engaging and entertaining plot.
The cgi is well done and keeps it simply throughout the film. The Shallows has a relatively slow start but within minutes has a quick build up to the point where we see Blake stranded by the rock. What was difficult in reasoning is how long she was on the rock with no food but yet seemed to have enough energy in swimming back and forth. Also as of note she meets a small seagull which steals the show in the end.
Overall, the Shallows is a small simple film with a simple intention at entertaining and in does the job. Recommend to those whom enjoy this sort of films. Nothing to take too serious but relax.
